ENEMIES OF SOCIETY.
II is y great pity that the execution of
the Chicngo anarchists was delayed day
after their trial and condemnation. It is
just here in this country of extreme free
dom OF speech that the lesson needs to be
Taught to the propagandists of socialism
and social anarchy, that the law IS as su-
preme here rs anywhere else That prom
erty and life must be respected. That
the wrongs of the social state can only be
Temedleu by peaceful agitation The
1orelgn movement OF aid to the anarchist
inuruerers ought to warn us anew of the
elements we have to deal with. 1t is part
I OF general propaganda OF lawiessness, OF
vicious living, of society without the re
stralht6 OF decency, law or religion. It il
thlng 10 be stamped out, not trihed
with. These socialists are not ngitatinp

would reduce MI society to chaos They
are rs much the enemies of labor AS Of

THE GUARDIANS or SOCIETY.
When every barrel Of whiskey and
every barrel OF beer that rolls out from a
diatillery or brewery in this State has al
ready paid Il tax toward corruption fund
to defeat republican candidates for the
Legislature. we don't know why good peo-
pie who want to see the liquor traffic re
stricted, and don't want to see the saloons
open on sunday, shouldn't send money to
Tue republican State committee as they
would help any movement for the good OF
society.-N Y. Tribune.
